Title:
  installer crashes before finalizing

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My initial install attempt crashed about half way through, giving me a
  notice that it was probably due to a defect in my install medium,
  which was a CD-ROM in this case.

  I re-burned an install CD, and it looked as though the installer would
  complete. The progress bar had gone completely across and I was
  waiting, but it finally gave me another message stating that the
  installer had crashed. I am really not sure of the reason for this
  crash.

  I have previously installed Ubuntu (including this version, 12.04) on
  many computers, over the past few years, and use Ubuntu solely as my
  operating system of choice. This computer is an older Toshiba laptop
  belonging to my inlaws, who also use Ubuntu, but have only recently
  decided to install Ubuntu to this machine.
